Oscar Wilde was born a Libra whose element is that domain of the mind-Air. Librans may like to be nice and avoid rocking the boat, but they are often great provocateurs too. Why else would Oscar opine, for example, that "work is the curse of the drinking class"? With that in mind, please pour yourself an Irish whiskey, relax and spend time with the sublime aphorisms and epigrams of Oscar Wilde.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
